Fishing/Grizzly Fenwick Rod

Hello, I have a Grizzly Fenwick Rod that I'm very curious about but I can't find any information on the internet about it. It's just less than 10', wood carved handle with rubber(?) bottom, rings get bigger as they climb down the pole to the handle. Stamped Grizzly Fenwick with the bird on top and some type of logo underneath, possible 3 animals, one looks like a duck. It comes apart in two sections. Super condition!

Any information would be greatly appreciated!"

But this is outside of my expertise.

AnswerKathy,
It is round- probably is made of fiberglass not bamboo. It was made in the 1950s. It's just a guess but it is probably not graphite or modern materials.
You might try to find Fenwick on Google and ask them.
You are not going to find written history on your rod . Bamboo fly rods are the ones that collectors want and have history written on them.

To help you further it would be nice to know the kind of guides - snake made of wire or casting type guides.

It is probably a Spey rod - 2 handed rod and they have come back into fashion.

You might try eBay but my guess is that you could sell it for $200 or more.
luck

If you are asking for the id of an old rod

please give a complete description
send pictures especially labels or logos with detailed thorough description** to me macsrods@yahoo.com and a complete including as much the following as you can:
Is it? fly or casting rod ? Reel seat is below or above the cork handle ?
Check metal for id and patents ? What is it made of; bamboo ( flat sided) fiberglass or graphite ( round)? Weight in oz? What is the diameter of the rod above the cork? Where was it purchased ?

Please read the following if the rod has either of the following two labels

Montague or H-I (Horrocks-Ibbotson).

They are looked down upon by the collecting community and often they are justified. They were mass produced , rather heavy and very slow. They are not going to resale for very much.
